FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
While highly capable, the Rebel v5 is primarily positioned as an everyday trainer; however, many runners find them sufficient for racing due to their low weight and energy return.
How does the sizing compare to other New Balance models?
The Rebel v5 generally runs true to size, but the race-inspired upper may feel slightly more snug than traditional, wider New Balance silhouettes.
Can these be worn as lifestyle sneakers?
Yes, the modern aesthetic and color options like Grey/Pink make them a stylish choice for casual wear.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability and is not water-resistant.
What is the primary benefit of the FuelCell foam?
The primary benefit is a highly responsive, energetic feel that assists with energy return during transitions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Ensure the shoe width matches your foot volume; try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points.
Midsole foam feels less bouncy over time
Foam compression is normal; allow the shoes 24-48 hours of rest between runs to let the materials recover their shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your FuelCell Rebel v5, avoid using a washing machine or dryer. Instead, remove the insole and scrub the mesh upper gently with a soft brush and mild, non-bleach detergent. Air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent foam degradation. Regarding compatibility, these shoes are standard neutral trainers and pair well with custom orthotics if additional arch support is needed. Check the tongue and heel collar regularly for debris after trail or gravel use to maintain material integrity.
